The Lost Laugh magazine

More on the great comedians featured here can be found in The Lost Laugh e-zine. As well as exclusive, in-depth articles, you’ll also find DVD reviews, guest contributions from comedy film historians, rare images and reproduced archive news items all included.

Formerly known as ‘Movie Night’, I began the magazine in 2011. I think it’s got better as it’s gone on – hopefully readers agree! Along the way, it has met with very positive feedback.

Roughly 1-2 issues are produced a year, and are sent by email, as a PDF. Best of all, it is totally free! To subscribe, simply send an email stating your interest to movienightmag [AT] gmail.com
